Hi all! I am becoming swiftly confused as to how to address academic boo-boos in the personal statement!

(For my tawdry story, click here:http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=236769)

It seems that explaining things may not be the best course of action; yet there is a prompt in the personal application that states:

In addition, you may wish to include information such as:
*Special hardships, challenges or obstacles that may have influenced your educational pursuits
*Commentary on significant fluctuations in your academic record which are not explained elsewhere in your application

Sooo, do I address the issue, or just omit it?

Truly Flabbergasted!
